Abstract

In Ortega's thought technique is not satisfaction but liberation from necessity since only superfluous is really necessary, according to every man's vital project. Technique serves this project and its faculty is not mechanical discourse but imagination. So technocracy is not probable. Nevertheless in Ortega human project shows, in my opinion, sorne typical features of a technical project. This position may be called "technical romanticism".
